Under normal weather conditions the two rivers are relatively constant in depth and speed. However, heavy rains can cause them to swell into Grade 4 rivers. During this time rafting activities may be called off temporarily.

Peninsular Malaysia has its share of good rafting spots. These include the Grade 2 Sungai Sungkai in Perak and the Grade 3 Selangor River in Kuala Kubu Baru, which has its source in Fraser's Hill. The Endau River, Jeram Besu and Lipis River in Pahang and the Tembeling River in Taman Negara are also popular rafting sites.

::GETTING THERE::
Malaysia Airlines operates regular flights to Sabah and Sarawak from Kuala Lumpur. Once in Kota Kinabalu, Sahah; rafting operators will arrange transport from the city to Padas Gorge through which the Padas River flows. The starting point for excursions to Padas is at Pangi Railway Station where an antique train will take you on a scenic journey through the Padas Gorge.

After the train ride comes the thrill of riding rapids with names like the Headhunter, Adrenaline Flow, and Merry-Go-Round.

The Padas excursion is a day trip. However those wishing to stay longer can put up at the Padas River Lodge located at Rayoh. Successful rafters will be presented with a certificate of accomplishment upon completion of their adventure.

Rafting sites in Peninsular Malaysia are easily accessible by car or bus. The Selangor River is reached via Kuala Kubu Bharu. It is a one-hour car ride, about 90km from Kuala Lumpur. Visitors can also board a Fraser's Hill bound bus and to be stopped three kilometers from Kuala Kubu town where rafting operators have their headquarters.
